Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) is the first and largest religious congregation for men in the Catholic Church in India.
Having been founded at Kerala in 1831, our congregation has grown beyond the boundaries of Kerala and even India. We lead a life of prayer
and apostolic service; there are among us contemplatives who live in ashrams,
retreat preachers, pastors and missionaries directly engaged in spiritual
ministries, educators who spend their whole life for the holistic growth of the
young in schools and colleges, social workers with special concern and
commitment for the poor and the marginalized, apostles of the media who spread
the Good News through print and electronic means and so on. Manifold are the
fields which await the young men who are ready to accept the challenge of
Christís discipleship in the way shown by St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara and
willing to carry on the charism he and other CMI founding fathers have
bequeathed to the Church in India.
